Secure Communications for Government Buildings
The Challenge of Communicating Across Agencies
Local governments and federal agencies rely on mission-critical data and secure communication channels to effectively protect and serve the public. Access to a secure mobile network is critical when sharing sensitive documents, accessing real-time data, communicating between departments, and connecting with constituents. Outdated infrastructure, cement walls, and even glass windows can prevent cellular signal from reaching inside government facilities. With growing connectivity needs, mobile network coverage gives government agencies the necessary support to ensure public safety.
Improving Government Operations with Enhanced Signal
Staff Coordination
In large or multi-level government buildings, weak cellular signals can disrupt communication between departments and staff. Wilson Connectivity’s solutions ensure consistent coverage throughout the facility, keeping teams connected, coordinated, and responsive at all times.Emergency Response
In a crisis, seconds matter. Whether it's a medical incident, fire, or public safety threat, reliable in-building cellular coverage ensures that first responders, security teams, and emergency personnel can communicate without delay—no matter where they are in the building.
The Need for Strong Cell Coverage in Government Buildings
Many factors common across government buildings and facilities impact cellular signal strength:
- Building material like steel and concrete interfere with cell signals
- Secure design means many critical areas of a government building are located underground, compounding the poor signal issue
- The risk of Electromagnetic (EM) interference due to multiple devices and users communicating on the same frequencies
- Physical location between a government building and nearest cell tower, which significantly impacts signal strength

In-Building Cellular Repeater Improves Connectivity and Enhances Public Safety
The distinctive copper architecture of Bloomington, Minnesota’s city hall may be beautiful—but it came with an unintended side effect: it blocked nearly all cellular signal from entering the building. That posed a serious problem for the city’s emergency operations center, where reliable communication is critical for coordination and response.
